Asphyxiated.

What was very near a triple fatality
occurred on Sunday night in the family of
]. W. Dixon, who resides on First street.
On retiring the hard coal heater was
closed as usual, or was supposed to be
SO. Yesterday morning, as the men,
bers of the family appeared one by one,
they complained of a peculiar feeling of
faintness and nausea. Mr.. Dixon suf-
ferred somewhat, but his mother, Lewis
Edison and Lucius Lowell, were quite i'll.
Mrs. Dixon and young Lowell became
rapidly worse, so that a physician was
summoned to attend them. The cause
of the illness was then discovered to be
the gas, which, during the night, had
escaped from the stove. Under treat
ment all the affected parties rapidly re-
covered, though at one time the chances
looked decidedly slim for two OF them.
Last evening Mrs. Dixon was resting
easily and the young man was able to be
about the house.

The DOIyCS IN The BLUFFS.
A New Injunction to Keep the Motor
From Crossing.
PAPERS IN THE JONES CASE
The Judges Instructions Tossed Out
Of the Window and Blown Away
Opening of the Catho.
lie Fair.
Stopping the Motor.


II will be remembered that when the
motor line to Lake Manawa was built
last summer an injunction was issued
restricting the company from crossing
the tracks of the Chicago e. Rock
Island railway at Ninth street. Then
the railway commissioners were called
in to arbitrate. Their report was in
favor Of allowing the motor line to cross
at Seventh or Eighth street, provided
regular frog crossings were put in.
Under this decision Of the railway COM
missiOners an agreement was reached
between the motor line and the Rock
Island company. The enterprise has
been in a state of quiet since then,
but being recently sold, the new
owner gave notice that on yesterday the
sheriff and jury would proceed to con-
demn and award damages, preparatory
to extending the motor line along Ninth
street. The Rock Island officials
fastened to stop such proceedings by an
injunction, which was issued by Judge
LoOfbourow on Saturday and served
yesterday morning. In the petition for
this writ the Rock Island company
claims to have six tracks on Ninth
street, and it is the entrance to their
yards. They estimate the number OF
times they cross Ninth street daily at
from 300 to 500. If obliged to stop each
time, on account of its being railway
crossing, it would practically cause
them to change their yards.

Lacking in Instruction.

Colonel Scott, who has defended
Jonathan Jones for ten years, keeping
him out of the penitentiary although
four verdicts of guilty have been found
by juries, is preparing to secure, if pos
sible, another trial. He yesterday filed
his motion for a new trial. In prepar-
ing this the rather startling disclosure
is made that the instructions given to
the last jury are nowhere to be found.
The instructions were Saturday night
lying upon the desk of the clerk, with
other papers, in the hall now being
used for a court room. On Sunday
the hall was cleared up prepara-
tory for the holding of the Catho-
lie fair this week. Those clearing up
the room set the clerks table out of the
way, and it is said disposed of a large
quantity of paper by throwing them
into the alley, doubtless supposing they
were of no account. The wind whirled
these papers about in all directions.
Some were gathered up, but none of
those recovered proved to be the in
structions in the Jones case. When the
motion for new trial comes up before
Judge Deemer, unless the instructions
are found before that time, this will be
urged as one of the reasons why a new
trial should be granted. With part of
the record thus gone there arises the
query what is to be done about it.

very short time, not only the telegraph, but Mr..
Macksy's Commercial cable, as well as the
thousands OF miles of land lines that Mr.. Mackay
practically owns Negotiations looking to a
union between the Gould and Mackay interests
have been in progress for some time, conducted

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 6 The tariff conference
at Oakview is said to be still in progress. Sec
retary Fairchild and Representativ Scott, OF
Pennsylvania. arrived here last night and
joined the President and Speaker Carlisle to-
day. Mr.. Randall arrived in town last night;
but whether he will participate in the confer
not is not known. In an interview this
afternoon. when asked If he came here to aid IN
the conference. he saic that he had not come
here any mission, and that he intended to
turn to- PHILADELPHIA as soon as he placed his boy
in school. He spoke of the recent Pennsylvania
Democratic convention with manifest gratifca-
ton, and is pleased with the platform and with
the spirit of harmony and energy that pervades
his party in the State.
The Star. this evening, speaking OF the
conference. says: .'The administration plan is
almost complete. and when it is ready it will
contain every point of concession they will
ing to make. This will be discussed with Mr..
Randall. and. while it is possible that some slight
change might be made at his suggestion.E there
by they were sure of securing his cooperation it
is likely that in the main the plan will be ad-
hered to. and he will be puG in the attitude. of
opposing the administration if he attempts to
block their policy in this matter. 1t is party
emergency that will require all their states
manship to meet. The situation is anomalous,
and just what attitude Mr.. Randall may assume
is matter of doubt. The bill. mapped out,
certainly makes a considerable concession
him from the attitude of the majority of the
party last winter. but the question is whether
he will be content to accept the compromise.
There possibility that understanding be-
tween him and Mr.. Scott was reached at the
Pennsylvania convention, but this is matter
about which nothing be learned at this
time.n

The Coming Report of the Bureau of Statis-
tics Upon the Divorce Question.
Washington Special.
The discussion of the divorce question has re-
ceived impetus by the prospective report Of
the Bureau of Statistics upon this subject, and
the amendment of the divorce laws will prob
ably be one of the prominent measures before
the Fiftieth Congress. One odd fact which will
be brought out by these statistics is that the
number of divorces does not depend wholly upon
the looseness or stringency of the local laws in
the States where they are granted. The causes
upon which divorces are granted in the
various States are as follows The wife
may secure divorce il her husband
fails to support her in New Hampshire, Massa-
cnusetts Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Indi-
ana. Michigan, Nebraska, Delaware, Tennessee,
Nevada Colorado, Washington Territory, Idaho.
Wyoming Utah and Arizona, ard for .wilifull
neglect in California and Dakota. Disappear
ance of either party is sufficient cause in New
Hampshire, Vermont Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. Divorces still readily granted in
Rhode Island for gross msbehavior and wick
edness repugnant to and in violation Of the mar
riaee contract" for ''cruel and barbarous treat
ment of WIFE in Pennsylvania; for any or indef-
mite causes, at the discretion of the court in
Wisconsin, Washington Territory, Arizona and
Florida; also, in Ohio ana Michigan, where the
other party has secured q divorce in another
State or after five years voluntary separation
in Wisconsin and Kentucky.
Kentucky, so far as the law goes, is one Of the
easiest States in the Union whore divorce may
be had yet Kentucky is not a State that has
been noted for the number of its divorce cases.
In the foregoing list of ''easy States" il will be
noted that Delaware. Tennessee and Florida be-
long by as good right as any of the New Eng
land States. Yet these States have never taken
high rank among the notorious divorce States.
There is close a connection between the
stringency of the laws aud the number of dis
